Mercman Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 i was not so long ago helped on this forum to overclock my cpu to 3.5ghz and it has been going great.as it is winter now here my temps are still well in check but in summer time it can get real hot and i dont have AC so im in the market for a better cooler to keep my OC in summer time. the noctua nh-d14 and thermalright silver arrow is the best in the business and i know they are huge and not all ram fit under them but witch one is the best of the two and why do you say so? cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Personally I would not use either and instead get a Corsair H60 or Antec H2O 620, if you need a bit more get an Antec H2O 920. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Hey Merc , what your budget in rands maybe I can find you the best cooler ... I wouldn't go for either of those massive coolers . If your budget is around R1000 then go for the Corsair H70 (you could get you cpu to 4GHz+ easily on that and still be cool) But theres the Antec Kuhler 620 for around R700 depending on the store , LandmarkPC and Prophecy have the 620 in stock at around R700 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dihartnell Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 If those are the choices then D14. Only 44mm clearance under it for Ram. You may also wish to consider a water cooling kit. Corsair H60/70 for a easy all one unit. Similar performance to he D14 or S.A. Or go for a WC kit like XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 or RS360.

GodlyManDude540 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Why not look into the Corsair H100? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercman Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 that Corsair H100 looks great but i cant find any reviews on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 It doesnt come out until the end of June so we might have to wait a while for some reviews but I am using the H70 and with my 920 @ 3.8Ghz on hot days here (Oregon 80F) load temps are around 78c so I would think that the H100 would improve at least a little Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercman Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 is it possible to add a second fan on the Antec H2O 620 for a push/pull config? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Just from looking at a few pictures of the Antec H2O 620 it seems to me that you can mount 2 fans on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H100 would cost over his budget and only arrives in August in South Africa . Honestly a Antec 620 should handle 3.5Ghz with ease all the way up to 4GHz . The 620 is only a few degrees under the performance of the H70 . The Antec Kuhler 920 for R1100 is the best though , beats the H70 and you should be able to get 4.2GHz You shoulda posted sooned , I sold my H70 in perfect condition about a week ago for R800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodlyManDude540 Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Something looks terribly wrong there , I got 4.158GHz at 1.3375v stable and in a 25C ambiant hit 80C Prime loaded on my H70 Really? Hmm well I have a wc loop now that im installing next week anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
